Wedding Cake Alternatives

Trends

Q. I want to serve dessert at my wedding, but I’ve never been interested in a traditional wedding cake. Is there a good alternative that will still appeal to my guests?

A. There sure is! A dessert table with an assortment of delectable treats is a great option for brides who want a more personalized dessert option that’s not a typical cake. Dessert tables also can often appeal more to guests due to the variety of options.

Delicately Delicious, a bakery in Cedarburg, offers brides both wedding cakes and dessert table options that are sure to please. “Brides are looking for ideas to help their wedding stand out, and dessert tables allow for a wide variety of tastes to be served,” says Jennifer Goldbeck, owner of Delicately Delicious. “It also allows for family favorites to be represented. We had a dessert table this summer where we made several of the desserts, but the bride’s aunt and grandma also made some things that were family traditions.”

Goldbeck has found that a mix of desserts ensures something for everyone: a cake option like a cupcake, something for chocolate lovers, something light like a miniature fruit tart, something rich, like cheesecake, and several bar options like lemon and pecan pie bars.
